Interesting. I think the success of Podcaster's fubnd drives will depend on how interesting they are. Have you ever heard Firesign Theater's Carnation Instant...
Fund drives via a podcast is like begging and being rich, the cost to do shows is below ridiculous. Libsyn.org makes podcasting affordable to nearly everyone...
Yes, it's a whole new game out there. I used to volunteer for WBAI in New York City, but I just couldn't lie to the listeners. "We've just received a $500...

Well it has been interesting thus far I am watching the dynamics of being in the top 10 and seeing if we get a bounce from that. Thus far I think minimal but...
Great fun news Todd. And I admire your calm in the face of it all! Not an easy thing to do in my experience. Roxanne ... -- "o ke kai" means "of the sea" in...
So, the Meetup.com site is helpfully advertising a podcasting meetup on Thursday, April 21, 2005 at 7:00 PM at Murphy's Bar and Grill downtown. Anyone up for...

Congrats Todd! It's great to see you and MacCast in the top ten. Nice to see "shows of content" and not just the usual fart jokes and burping. Growing pains...

... No, I just mean the Meetup.com meet-up. I'm just trying to egg folks over there to play with the RSVP goodies. (Why Yahoo! hasn't obsoleted them or Evite...
Kind of off topic for the list but in a related vein of time-shifted content, anyone else here a Tivo user? We've got 3 Tivo boxes all wirelessly connected to...
